Chapter 553 - Believe in ... (2/2)

Her thoughts broke off when Rhys suddenly lifted her up. ”Uh, Rhys?”

He does not say anything but soon found herself in the waiting room they normally receive guests in. He locked the door and tossed her onto the couch. ”You really want me to finish, Princess?”

”Calling me Princess again, you're too cold!” Lyn exclaimed.

Rhys should know how uncomfortable she is with her title. So why does he keep using it?

”I need to draw a line somewhere.”

She felt an unusual pain appear in her chest when he said those words. Why does he have to draw the line? What is wrong with what they have now? Why cant they get closer?

Her thoughts broke off when Rhys leaned forward and licked her tears. Tears?

”Lyn.” He mumbled softly. ”I told you to trust me already.”

”I don't like it when your cold. How can I tell what your thinking?”

”You should imprint this in your mind then, every single moment I spend with you and every time I touch you. Believe in that rather than my random coldness.”

So he admits it? But believe huh? Kazuya also told her that before he left. He told her to trust Rhys no matter how bad things get. Lyn took a deep breath before she nodded. ”Can you kiss me?”

”We have around fifteen minutes before anybody realizes.”

”Plenty of time?”

Rhys grinned. ”I will finish in five.”

…..

He finished in four with time to spare.

Lyn felt awkward and very self-conscious. Rhys already fixed her clothes up with magic, but it scared her that somebody would notice. When she arrived at the doors, she spotted two people, one of the twin squires, the older one Gilbert, and her guard Pupilliam. Both of them wore formal knight attire.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #..._52049276389349339 for visiting.

”Welcome, Princess.”

”They called you two as well?”

Pupilliam nodded. ”They believed that it was best for three guards from your side to witness the ceremony.”

Eh, ceremony?

”The princess is here.” Naoki said.

Lyn hears a muffled sound at the door saying 'enter', the doors opened, and she saw the familiar sight of the throne room. It wasn't just Allen alone but her second brother there too.

Also, a familiar man stood in the center. ”Ah, Lieutenant.”

Rhys pushed her forward, ”Come now, Princess.”

Lyn was puzzled and yet made her way to the center.

”Dear, this man is here for his guard coronation despite the delay. I have already heard the reasoning, and it appears as though your brother approved of it already.”

It was unlike Allen to dress her with 'dear,' but whenever he does the, she knew to start behaving like a Princess. She took a step forward

and at that, Teo goes down to one knee and bows.

”Forgive my tardiness. But I still have every intention of serving you, if you'll allow me.”

What tardiness? Ever since the General explained the takeover, she frequently spends time with him. Then again, she supposes they have to do this for formality's sake. Unless perhaps Allen only just heard about this arrangement?
